Energy policy spans sectors from resource extraction, generation and distribution, and research & development of energy production and storage. In recent years, policy discussions have become even more complex as innovation and economic trends have introduced new variables. For example: enhanced oil and gas recovery methods; renewables such as solar, wind, and biofuels; readiness of continent-wide grids to handle centralized versus local production and storage; cybersecurity of distribution; public opinions on carbon and nuclear.

This panel will discuss their thoughts on how energy policy may be considered starting in 2017 given the new Administration and Congressional session, followed by Q&A with the audience. Lunch served on location; livestream information below.
